Band Revival
Going Strong
Recently efforts, in which
Louis Thompson took the lead-
ing part, have been made to
reorganize the Champion band.
Some ten members have en-
rolled and two practices have
been held, B,. Hummel acting as
leader. The promoters desire
to increase the strength to at
least sixteen members and as
there are several bandsmen in
this vicinity they are urged to
enrol at once, Practice is held
every Wednesday evening at
8 o'clock in Louis Thompson's
house. Everyone will be pleas-
ed to hear of a revived interest
in the band and it is hoped
every possible assistance will be
tendered to keep it going.

—-
Thousands of men and women are
to-day victims of their own neglect.
Grouchy, listless, quickly tiring, suffer-

much to regain their old vitality.
Can it be done? Yes! How?
Simply by recognizing the importance
of one fundamental rule of health—the
proper elimination of the bowel con-

remain in the system quickly lower the
stamina, weaken the nerves and thus
pave the way to ill-health. Stop this

| the Historical Background. For
{twelve years five kings, or chieftains,
‘in the region around the Dead Sea
| (Vale of Siddim) had been vassals
of Chedorlaomer, King of Elam. In
the thirteenth year they rebelled and
ithe year following Chedorlaomer un-
jdertook a punitive expeditidn which
included the region from Syria to the
,Gulf of Akaba. With him were asso-
j ciated three other kings, Amraphel,
King of Shinar ‘or Babylonia - (he is
usually Tdentified with Hammurabi: |
see the Historical Background, Arioch, |
King of Lassa (on the left bank or |
the Euphrates in Southern Babylonia) |
‘and Tidal, King of Golim (thought to}
describe the Guti, a strong nation |
north of Babylonia). |
The invaders attacked and con-|
quered many tribes on their way to}
the Dead Sea, where they were with-
|stood by the five Canaanite kings of
| that section, the kings of Sodom, Go- |
j}morrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela, A
|fieree battle was fought, and the in- |
|vaders were victorious. The region
‘abounded in bitumen (slime) pits |
| (bitumen still floats on the surface of |
jthe Dead Sea), and in them the
jarmies of the kings of Sodom and Go-
'morrah were engulfed. The text
|says that the kings of Sodom ana
;Gomorrah fell there, but it seems
|legitimate to understand that it was

The Dominion Budget
While naturally there will be differences of opinion in regard to details
of the Budget presented to Parliament by Hon. J. A. Robb, it will, taken as a
whole, be aceep'able to the people of Canada as constituting the first sub
stantial measure of relief from the burden of taxation imposed upon them
by the war, something which a few years ago it seemed would not be enjoyed
by the present generation,
rhe chief reduetion in taxation is that resulting from the changes in the
Income Tax These changes are so arranged as to bring the greatest meas
ure of relief to those in receipt of the smaller incomes. It is estimated that
about one-third of all people formerly paying taxes on earned incomes will
now be entirely exempt, while decided reductions are made in the case of
those who will still have something to pay. The reduction in the case of
those whose incomes are largely derived from investments and dividends
will not be so material,

result being that whereas a few years ago the railway Was not even earning

and the Dominion treasury was called upon for sixty
to seventy million dollars a year to meet deficits and Interest charges, last
year there was a large surplus on operation, making it necessary for the Gov-
ernment to advance only a tenth of the sum previously required to meet
interest charges
The removal of this enormous drain on the treasury enabled the Gov-
ernment to reduce the burden of taxation on the people as a whole. A con
tinuation and further expansion of business means larger direct

now known that rheumatism is root-

rheumatism, therefore, you must go
to the root of the trouble in the blood.
| That is why Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
‘have proved so beneficial when taken
for this trouble, They make new,
rich blood which expels the poisonous |
acid and the rheumatism disappears.
There are thousands of former rheu-
matic sufferers in Canafla, now well
and strong, who thank Dr, Williams’
|Pnik Pills that they are now free
from the aches and pains of this
dreaded trouble. One of these is Mr.
Robt. A. Smith, Mersey Point, NS.,
who says:—‘“Some years ago I was
attacked with rheumatism, which
grew so bad that [ could not walk
and had to go to bed under the doc-
tor’s care. It is needless to say that
I underwent a great deal of suffering.
|The doctor’s medicine did not seem
to reach the trouble, so when I was
advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills I did so, and after taking them
for some weeks I was able to get out
of bed. I continued using the pills
and was soon able to work, and I
have not been troubled with rheuma
tism since. In other respects also I
derived a great deal of benefit from
these pills and [ think them a won-
derful remedy.”

Hail Companies Will
Make Individual Rates
All rates, rules and regulations re-
lating to hail insurance in western
Canada have been suspended for the
year 1926, announced H. H, Campkin,
Regina, secretary of the Canadian
Fire Underwriter's association, today,
on his return from a special meeting
of that body held in Winnipeg, April
20 and 21,
“Since 1917 the rates have been set
by the association, but for this year at
least, the 45 companies who belong to
the association will. set their own,’
he said; the decision regarding this
came asa result of dissatisfaction on
the partof some of the companies,
I'm not prepared to state what the
dissatisfaction was about. That is a
confidential matter.”
Mr. Cainpkin believed that the new
order would last only a year and did
not think that the change would make
any material difference to the insured,
